Hello. I have just started programing in C++ (though I do have experience in programing) I do not know how to convert uppercase chars to lowercase.

Someone pleas help me. Thanks in advance!

In the header file ctype.h ( C ) or cctype ( C++ ), there are toupper and tolower methods.

#include <iostream>
#include <cctype>

using namespace std;

int main() {
	char ch = 'a';
	   ch = toupper(ch);
	cout << ch << endl;
	   ch = tolower(ch);
	   cout << ch << endl;
}

You could always write your own methods:

char toupper(char ch) {
	if (ch < 'a' || ch > 'z') {
		return ch;
	}
	return ch - ('a' - 'A');
}

char tolower(char ch) {
	if (ch < 'A' || ch > 'Z') {
		return ch;
	}
	return ch + ('a' - 'A');
}

Hope this helps!
